IP Address

NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual		Web Console Configuration
	IP Address
	Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
	E.g., 192.168.1.1	192.168.127.254	Required
	(IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and
	x.x.x.255 are invalid.)

An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the IP addressed to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment.

Netmask

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
Ex. 255.255.255.0	255.255.255.0	Required

A subnet mask represents all the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the NPort, a connection established directly from the NPort. Otherwise, the connection is established through the given default gateway.

Gateway

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
Ex. 192.168.1.1	None	Optional

A gateway is a network gateway that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. The NPort needs to know the IP address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment. For correct gateway IP address information, consult the network administrator.

IP Configuration

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
Static	Static	Required
DHCP
DHCP/BOOTP
BOOTP

ATTENTION

In Dynamic IP environments, the firmware will retry 3 times every 30 seconds until network settings are assigned by the DHCP or BOOTP server. The Timeout for each try increases from 1 second, to 3 seconds, to 5 seconds.

If the DHCP/BOOTP Server is unavailable, the firmware will use the default IP address (192.168.127.254), Netmask, and Gateway for IP settings.

That’s why the native COM ports on the motherboard can work fast with this function call, but the NPort requires much more time. In order to accommodate other applications that require a faster response time, the new NPort driver implements a new “Fast Flush” option. Note that by default, this function is disabled 9. After setting the COM Mapping, remember to select Apply Change to save the information in the host system registry.
